History

MAH JONGG is a twin screw day yacht, built by Frank Bevis at Gosport in 1924.  Stamps in her official papers indicate that she transited the Kiel Canal to and from the Baltic in June and July 1939.

During the Second World War, she was requisitioned for Naval use in Gibraltar.  MAH JONGG was rescued from disuse on the Thames in 1968 when she was bought by David Prior who redesigned and rebuilt her. She was re-registered at Plymouth and sold to another private owner in 1986.
